1t was rumored in railroad circles to-day
that President Little of the New Jersey
Central might resign before the date of the
annual election, in which case he would be
succeeded by Austin Corbin. The latter
and his friends are supposed to hold
enough stock to control the May election.
and why it should be held if not for that
purpose is mystery on Change. Cor
bins brokers have had another block of TO-
900 shares of Jersey Central stock tranferred
to their name. This makes about 10000
shares now held by them, and it is under
stood that, with the holdings by parties
friendly TO them, is sufficient to give them
control of the road at the coming election.
There seem to be preparations to continue
the receivership indefinitely as a company
has been organized under the title of the
Jersey Central Improvement Company, the
object of which is to provide means for the
development of Jersey Central, in which
the receivers funds cannot be invested.
The capital stock is II ,000,0 900, and $780,
600 has already been issued in payment of
stocks and bonds of the Cumberland and
Maurice Railroad. which was lately added
TO the Jersey Central system.
Austin Corbin is President of the Read
